Normals
I am still having trouble with Normals on export. Even when I have flipped them using the menu command, my object comes out invisible in parts no matter what programme I use. This happens when I have cut part of an object away or when I have drawn using line. However I have managed to get round the problem with lines by exporting in stl format then reimporting and exporting again. However the invisible/normals problem still remains for cut items. Any suggestions would be much welcome.

Re: Normals
If the surfaces flipped, you will be able to see it. Switch on the display of normals (press 'n' or use the Orth/3D menus at the top) to see where then surfaces face.
Also, set all surfaces to single sided. If any 'vanish', i.e. they are only visible from one side, flip those. |

Re: Normals
I have done that, selecting the individual ones but that only makes the opposite side invisible while correcting the facing one
